weepaul Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Some of the frets (about 2) on the upper register of the neck seem a little more worn around the E and A string. Plays fine and I don't play that high up the neck. They're round about the 14/15th fret ,just incase theres a problem that could get worse. Any suggestions ? Cheers.

RhysP Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 If the bass plays fine & the wear isn't causing any problems I'd leave it. You could always have the frets dressed if it's bothering you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worth getting yourself a fret rocker as well though as it will really help finding those pesky high frets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
